Behold the new Paragon, courtesy of Doug Washington

A few months ago, Scoop shared the news that Doug Washington (Town Hall, Salt House, Anchor & Hope) decided to undertake a little side project: revamping the interior of Paragon.

Well, as seen above, the remodel is complete, and — spoiler — she’s a beaut.

As noted earlier, Washington brought in a bunch of Oregon barn wood for the project. The dark rustic wood — along with glossy Italian subway tiles — are wrapping all the walls in the restaurant. The other main design features involve light fixtures. There are the show-stopping chandeliers that catch the eye, but look closely at the smaller wall-mounted lights; they’re old soup bowls, flipped. All in all, it looks like a New York restaurant, to be frank.

And of course, there’s some artwork from Freya Prowe, Washington’s wife.

Regarding the food program, the menu has been tweaked as well, though the chef remains Spencer O’Meara.

Here are a few more photos of the space, which looks even better during the evening hours once the sun goes down:
